I am throwing a room party at the Minneapolis science fiction convention! I am going to be taking pictures of people and animating them into science fiction movies in real time. I have prepared a bunch of clips and tools to streamline the process.

I am going to have a sweet setup. We will be shooting photos of people on a home made greenscreen. Then we will mask out the images in photoshop and turn them into animations using VJ software and after effects.
The result will be similar to the valentine's day photo fun booth that were posted to YTMND earlier, except that we will have Science Fiction Theme.
And UV vodka is sponsoring our party, so we will be serving all sorts of funky colored space age drinks!

Interesting is a HUGE understatement, max. I shall elaborate. So me (MikStarYo), cliffington88, and stonhenged went to this gathering and stuff happened. I expected to be hanging out with a bunch of ytmnders, but it was something called comicon aka giant nerd festival. So we met alphasuede and another user dressed in a suit. Anyways to continue this story, we went down stairs and there was this booth (a whore booth). This is where the story gets interesting. So the whores, 2 attractive 1 unattractive, were

giving kisses for $1 to benefit breast cancer and AIDS. The whore that was trying to suck us in was the ugly (cliff says she's respectable, an 8/10 or a 4 star ytmnd score) whore, we'll call her the whore. The girl is trying to get us to pay her for a kiss, but stonhenged and i lied and told her we didn't have any money (cuz we didn't wanna be kissed by a girl kissing a ton of people already and looked like she had a cold sore. Then cliff who wasn't paying attention and couldn't read the big sign that said

kissing booth, assumed that they were giving away lap dances so he said "oh i have a dollar." And we were like "alright cliff you're gonna kiss them." And still thinking it was for lap dances was like "no this is for you guys." He did that because he didn't know we were lying and wanted to give us the pleasure of having a lap dance. So we were like "we need 2 dollars then", but he didn't have another dollar because the one dollar he had was for a taco at taco bell. So stonhenged being a pussy didn't wanna

get herpes. So i wanted to tell her i want the other chick, but i felt bad cuz i'd be the hottest guy she'd make out with all night (alphasuedo can hopefully vouch for that seeing that all the other people were trying to be captain jean luc picard of the uss enterprise). ALSO I HAD NEVER KISSED A GIRL EVER BEFORE (by choice cuz i've never had a gf and i'd only make out with my gf) So this girl makes out with me, like tongue and everything, i had no choice in the matter. According to cliff, i looked like a

natural. And that is how i got herpes. As i walked away terrified of my newly acquired disease i'm licking my shirt and wiping my mouth of, hoping that it is the cure. That is also when cliff told us that he had no idea what was gonna happen and she thought he was gonna show us her boobs (cuz he'll do anything that leads to seeing a girl nakkked). Then we ended up in a room that was the bridge from star trek. That's the end of that first story, but remember when i said stuff happened, that means more than

one thing happened. So in one room a picked up a ring. Also we couldn't get into half the places cuz we didn't have badges. One girl gave me a sticker saying we don't need no stinking badges, but i thought it said badgers so i took it off cuz i'm a badger. Then we go to another room and there was a girl dressed as amy from soul caliber giving out free cake. Cliff got his piece of cake. Then as amy offers me mine i'm like i don't want the piece of cake, but i would like something else. So i got down on knees

and pulled out the ring and proposed to her! SHE SAID YES! We had our wedding cake together and I was off. Then i went somewhere at ludicrous speed and ended up giving my blessing to a goddess. Then a moved a chair out of the way in suedo's booth. We were about to leave, but cliff wanted another piece of cake from the same room. So we went in and the girl in there called my wife back, but in the mean time a group of actually pretty hot chicks came in. And the hottest one in a black shirt was like "holy sh*t

a twins shirt." Cuz i was wearing my kind of tight (size small) DSpan shirt. And then we talked and she was like "OMG we need to get a picture with this twins guy." So this 2 chicks tried to mount me in the picture, they had like their legs up by my penis. Then i said bye to my wife and made my way out. Then we saw Godzilla but we drew his attention and had to get out fast so that he would not eat us. All in all it was pretty awesome, but we needed more ytmnders there. I'm gonna make this text into a microp

ZOMG LOL.
The party was a smash! Thank you so much for partying with us MikStarYo, YourTheCoconutMan, cliffington88, stonhenged, and creamyself. Thanks especially to ovipositor for helping.
I will be posting the best of the animations here soon. MikStarYo, if you make this a microphontmnd and I will post some more storys about the craziness.

I'm 19 though, although I should go anyways LOL yeah that would be a good way to spend a day or so. But I have to go back to work etc., hmm, maybe I should go anyways just to visit some of my relatives in that area... I dunno...

Yes exactly. Convergence is all ages, but some of the party rooms including ours will be carding because we will be serving alcohol. We will be projecting the video feed out of the room though.
You should still stop by and check out the convention.

Our co-host mentioned this about badges. Paraphrasing her, "We encourage you to buy a con-badge so you can attend all the cool panels, events, and parties that happen throughout the weekend. However, we personally, will NOT be badging at the door of our party so as not to discourage readers from visiting the Con for the first time, even in a restricted sense. Many parties do not badge at the door, but some do. So if you do not have a badge, there is a chance you will be turned away from some other parties."

Damn, if only I didn't already have plans for the 4th. Can we send in a picture in front of a greenscreen to be photoshopped? And can the green screen be a color other than green? Like, multicolored? As in, if I took a pic of myself using a .45 megapixel camera phone in front of any, random background, can you photoshop it into a high-res image that makes it look like I'm Kirk yelling KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN? Thanks in advance.

i live in chanhassen. but i'm only 18 :(
i thought nobody live in minnesota because everybody always thinks that people that live there are all lumberjacks that speak with a fargo/duluth accent and talk like canadians.
i never thought there would be a convention in minnesota. i thought all of them would be in new york/california/chicago etc.
also did you guys know that no marvel comics superheroes are from minnesota? what kind of bullsh*t is that?
